First names

If you are with an elementary school or a child care facility, and if you send the Times-Gazette Santa letters, or any other kind of news, please include each teacher's FIRST and LAST names. I realize that the students refer to "Mrs. Smith" or "Miss Susie," but the newspaper can't. We always need to use "Susie Smith" on first reference. This time of year, with the volume of Santa letters we receive, it slows things down for us to have to call the school or day care and ask.
